The irony of Republicans controlling all branches of government while
bankrupting the country, starting a war, sending money to fraudulent programs, violating the Constitution, giving corporations immunity...
but arguing that the biggest problem we have is “stolen elections.”
My kid's school asked me to donate supplies.
Paper. Pencils. Hand sanitizer. Tissues.
I pay property taxes.
My state has a $4 billion surplus.
The federal education budget is $238 billion.
And the teacher is buying pencils out of her own paycheck.
And I'm sending in Ziploc bags.
We fund stadiums for billionaires with public money.
We fund schools with bake sales.
And then blame teachers when test scores drop.
It's utterly ridiculous that we have all these supposed billionaire geniuses running around, and their greatest innovation of our lifetime has been stealing our personal data to sell us targeted ads.
“There are no maverick molecules in the universe.”
Haven’t seen a conversation like this—intellectual, philosophical, big picture—on tv in decades. It’s incredible.
"I'm kind of tired of you being called pastor... you hate everybody. You attack Black people, gay people, immigrants, Jews. All you do is spread hate."
@Timodc confronts controversial Christian nationalist pastor Doug Wilson on Piers Morgan Uncensored.
And we wonder why the public doesn’t understand the Court very well? 🙄 …
how about:
“Supreme Court unanimously holds that states can’t sue companies in state court for fulfilling WWII contracts with federal government.”
Not as sexy but I guess that’s the point!
DOJ demanded voter files from all 50 states.
DOJ sued 31 states for refusing their demand.
My law firm intervened to protect voters in those cases.
DOJ is now 0-5.
My firm is 5-0.
Lesson: When we fight we win.
TODAY IS TAX DAY. HERE'S WHAT WARREN BUFFETT SAID ABOUT PAYING TAXES IN 2024
"Berkshire sent in a check for over $5 billion to the U.S. federal government last year."
"If 800 other companies had done the same thing, no other person in the United States would have had to pay a dime of federal taxes. No income taxes. No Social Security taxes. No estate taxes. Nothing."
"It doesn't bother me in the least to write that check. And I would really hope, with all that America has done for all of you, it shouldn't bother you that we do it."
Ossoff: "The president apparently promised pardons for the entire WH staff, which I guess is the kind of thing you do when you run the WH like a casino. Now, maybe the West Wing is too busy placing Kashi and Polymarket bets on the war to care, but American are getting hurt ... in Donald Trump’s America, the rich get tax cuts, the well-connected get stock tips, and everybody else makes sacrifices."
I have a PhD in political science from Oxford, focused on US foreign policy; worked as a State Dept. official in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Middle East; and wrote a celebrated foreign policy book taught at universities like Princeton. That's why I get geopolitical questions.
Not sure I could sit in a lab and come up with a tax cut that is more top-tilted than this one.
99% of benefits to the top fifth of U.S. households with 86% going to the top 1 percent.
